The Environmental Science and Global Health majors at Duke University have opened my eyes to my role as a student in a global environment. Throughout my studies these past three years, my interests in global engagement have grown and developed. This research team has been a pivotal part of that development, as the experiences I had this previous year as a member of the team demonstrated the power of research in an increasingly global world. This project, which places even more of an emphasis on the environmental influences on health, is representative of the current needs of Peru with the crisis surrounding rising levels of toxic metals.
